ERII Capital Campaign
Invest in the facilities, equipment, and training infrastructure that will prepare the next generation of mineral resources professionals.
Why Now
The Mineral Industry Needs a Stronger Workforce Pipeline
Meeting growing demand for mineral resources requires professionals with practical technical skills and experience with emerging technologies. ERII's capital campaign will create the facilities and infrastructure needed to expand hands-on training, applied research, and collaboration between education and industry.
ERII is launching an approximately $11 million capital campaign to establish its permanent headquarters in Golden, Colorado, and develop the Drill Core Academy, a dedicated facility for hands-on geoscience and mineral resources training.
